Goodreads asked Jacqueline Winspear:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Jacqueline Winspear When I visited Gibraltar in 2009, though I also had an idea that I wanted to write about it.

Barbara
Barbara asked Jacqueline Winspear:

I have read every Maisie Dodd but the newest and I am waiting on it. My question is do you plan on starting a new series or a stand alone?

Jennifer Kepesh
Jennifer Kepesh asked Jacqueline Winspear:

I've appreciated the way that your character has grown throughout the series. There is one characteristic/gift of Maisie's that I noticed you decided to allow to quietly drop out of the storylines--communication with dead spirits. I think it was a good choice, but I'm curious--why did you have this as part of the character in early novels? What prompted the change?

Amy Bartosz
Amy Bartosz asked Jacqueline Winspear:

With the huge success of Downton Abbey which is set in the same period, do you see a film or mini series being produced? I'm sure there would be an eager audience.
